Leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj on Tuesday met US Vice President Joe Biden, and discussed the issue of H1B visas given to professionals.

"I had a very good meeting with Mr Joe Biden, Vice President, United States of America this afternoon," Swaraj said on her Twitter account.

"Amongst other issues, I raised the issue of Totalization agreement and H1B Visa to Indian professionals," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

H1B is the US visa for high-skilled foreign labour. The US recently passed a bill that overhauls the H1B provision, severely impacting Indian tech firms operating in the US such as Infosys, Wipro, TCS and Satyam Mahindra.
